The Appalachian Trail

This year's NOBO start season is coming up! Anyone planning to thru hike this year? Section hike? SOBO? Flip?

If so, do you have a blog so the rest of us can hike along vicariously?

6/19/2013 I climbed up Katahdin with my parents, who had driven me to Baxter, took all the required summit photos, then started walking south. Only went as far as the campground where the car was, but my thru hike had started. About 5 months later I stood on the summit of Springer Mountain.

Hopefully everyone on the trail is aware of this site already, but notices about the trail from the ATC can be found at https://appalachiantrail.org/trail-updates/

Anyone get stuck in the bad smoke while on the trail? Hopefully the AT doesn't become like the PCT and catch fire.
